April 2023 Website update

Good day one and all!

We have just finished updating the website and made a few changes to it, just in time for the arrival of Spring’s warmer weather and the convention season about to begin!

Videogames Inventory

For the moment and until further notice, due to logistical reasons, we have taken down the section with the whole videogames inventory from the website.
If you are looking for a specific item or title, you can always call us directly at the store and we will be able to check live to see if we currently have it in stock. This way, we can set it aside for you if need be.

Concerning games and consoles repairs

We still get asked about the repairs we can do, every now and then, so here goes:

In short, if you have a game disc (for example PS1, Gamecube, Wii game, etc.) that is scratched and gives you trouble, you can bring it in store and we can resurface it for you.

If you have game cartridges or a handheld system in which the battery is depleted, and you would like to have it replaced, that is also something we can do.

If it is a game console that is giving you trouble, we unfortunately do not take them in for repairs.
However, you could always ask our tech for advice about it, sometimes it is not as big a problem as one might think, and it could be easily fixed. Don’t hesitate to ask us about it. 🙂

Conventions Calendar

We have also updated the Convention Calendar section to display the upcoming conventions we are set to attend during the year.
It is, of course, subject to change, if we add some to our schedule, or if something comes up that prevents us from going to a scheduled one.

We hope you have a great week!

Happy Holidays 2022! (Yes, we are still open!)

Greetings one and all!

As Christmas 2022 is at the door, (riding on quite the “marvelous” Winter storm for the occasion), the whole team at the Blue Gryphon would like to wish each and every one of you a great holiday season! We wish for you to have some great, pleasant time, and may the coming year bring plenty of smiles, and good health.

If you must travel during the holidays, we wish you a safe trip.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to all!

And yes, we are open during the holidays, following the regular business hours, except for being closed on December 25th, opening at noon on December 26th, closed on January 1st, and opening at noon on January 2nd.

Holidays Forced Closure

Greetings everyone!
(Quick edit: This post dates back from December 2020)

As some (most?) of you know by now, the Quebec Government has decided that all businesses that are considered “non-essential” are to be closed during the Holidays, from December 25th 2020 until January 11th 2021.

Unfortunately, this time around, it is also forbidden for us to made curbside pick-up orders available to our customers.

We have no choice but to wait until the government grants us permission to open again.

We want to reassure our customers that despite this forced break from operating, should there be a problem with an item you bought to offer as a Christmas present, all you have to do is contact is, either by phone during business hours, or on our Facebook page, to let us know about it, on the 26th, 27th, 28th or 29th of December 2020.

This way, we can take note of it, and you can come back once we are allowed to open again.

We hope that despite the current situation, which renders celebrations rather different this year, you will still get to spend some pleasant time during the Holiday season.

The Blue Gryphon team

N.B. Please, do not drop by and knock on the door. Even if we are present inside, we are not allowed to open the door for you. The fine if we are caught opening the door to customers is considerable. Thank you for your cooperation.

Online Sales – April 2020

Good news to those who were waiting on this!

The new section for the website, which contains the inventory listings for the videogames we have in store, is now live!

You can find the link to it if you scroll completely at the top of the page, beside the phone number, links to social medias and to the French website.
Alternatively, you can access it right here: The Gryphon’s Treasure Trove .

In that section, you will find:

  • Inventory listings for videogames, by sections (Nintendo, Sony (Playstation), Microsoft (XBox), Sega…)
  • The method for finding what you wish to get and letting us know
  • Many ways to contact us if you have questions or wish to make a purchase
  • Methods of payment
  • Link to Paypal for easy access if you wish to pay this way

For now we focused on the videogames, but now that all of this has been set up, we will work on adding other items as well.

In short, it goes a bit like this:

  1. You browse the lists to find games (there is also a small search box at the top-right of each table)
  2. You contact us with your questions or with the list of items you want to purchase
  3. We decide on your preferred payment method
  4. We decide on your preferred method to get your good
  5. You get your goodies and enjoy

Thank you again very much for your patience!

Coronavirus Pandemic – Business Hours

NOTICE CONCERNING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

Hello everyone!
We would like to let you all know that we are still, for now, open to the public.

We understand that in the next few weeks, people will be stuck indoors, at home, and will want to have something to keep themselves (and kids!) entertained.

That is the reason why, at the moment, both owners are covering the hours to keep the store open.

However, because of social accountability reasons, we would like to ask that people do not come to the store for the sole purpose of passing time, for a lack of having anything to do.

The best thing we all can do right now is practice social distancing as much as we can, to slow down the speed of propagation.

Thank you for your understanding.

We hope that all will be well, and that we’ll see you again, in good health!

(Should we need to close the store, we will make an announcement here and on Facebook.)
